I'm especially interested in everyday life, so first person accounts, almanacs, image galleries, and similar on-line archives would be very helpful. I'd also like to know what was going on in other countries, both in North American and elsewhere, at that time, and the effect the war had on them (Economically, politically, etc.)<br> Any weird anecdotes or throw-away factoids that you have would also be great!<br> <br> <small>More specifically, I'm also looking for an archived school primer that was making the internet rounds a few months back. Titled "A Confederate Child's Schoolbook," or something like that, it was published in 1863. It could very well have been posted here, but so far has eluded my Yahoo Fu.</small> tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.34943 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 07:55:17 -0800 americancivilwar archives civilwar confederacy history union Alvy Ampersand
